Won't allow NPR, NRC to be implemented in West Bengal: Mamata Banerjee in Murshidabad

"We won't allow NPR and NRC to be implemented in the state at any cost. We have passed a law in the assembly," Banerjee said in Baharampur which has a huge density of Muslim population.

Banerjee also indirectly accused the challenger Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of making way for the AIMIM to stir communal politics in the state.

"The BJP is bringing some Muslim parties to stir communal politics here. Do not indulge into such things," the ruling Trinamool Congress supremo said.

With a few weeks left for the high-voltage state elections to be held, Banerjee on Tuesday toured Purba Bardhaman and Murshidabad to address two rallies, in a bid to mobilise her party cadres.

In the first rally, which was held in Kalna, Banerjee in a message to her turncoats said, "It is better to be free from disloyal men. We are set free from sin. The Trinamool Congress will be represented only by those who would work for people."

In sharp contrast from her latest speech in Murshidabad, Banerjee referred to temples in Kalna during her first address.

"I have been in Kalna before. I had prayed to God in a temple," the Chief Minister said and added, "Very places have as many temples as Kalna has."

Banerjee's Trinamool has been deserted by a series of top leaders, the latest of them is former West Bengal Minister Rajib Banerjee, in the last few months, with most of them switching to the BJP.

However, Banerjee on Tuesday claimed the leaders have left the party knowing they won't be given tickets to contest the upcoming state polls, due to be held in 2021 summer.
